Wolf King And His Fox Consort

The Unwilling Consort of the Twin Kings

Aeger—a vassal kingdom both rich and ruined. A land of warriors and excess, ruled by twin kings who revel in debauchery yet remain unmatched in power. The empire seeks control, and the diarchs' elder sister, the Crown Princess, plays her own game—using Aeger to strengthen her hold on the court while trying to tame the brothers who threaten it. Marina Velkas, an Imperial Guard and reluctant governor, is sent to bring order. Instead, she is met with mockery in court, resistance in governance, and two kings who refuse to yield. Ruyi, sharp-tongued and reckless, enjoys breaking her defenses. Ruyel, cold and calculating, waits for her to surrender. But Marina does not break. She bends Aeger to her will, yet the kings remain watching, waiting. The court sees her as a passing intrigue, but whispers grow—of a bond that cannot be undone, of a governor who stands at the edge of something far greater. With the empire closing in and the kings tightening their claim, Marina must decide—continue fighting for a kingdom that will never be hers, or rise as its reluctant queen. [Formerly Sovereign of the Beasts. The first volume is seductive feline courtship and rather wholesome, but the first chapter is a throw forward to what would happen later.] ________________________________________ Excerpt: The Courtroom Duel Ruyi: “Denied.” Marina: “Of course it is.” Ruyel: “Try again with something less useless.” Marina: “Oh, I didn’t realize starving citizens were a matter of inconvenience to Your Majesties.” Ruyi: “They’re not starving. They’re simply unmotivated.” Marina: “Perhaps if you put more coin into infrastructure instead of your endless banquets, motivation wouldn’t be an issue.” Ruyel: “Careful, Governor. That sounds dangerously close to insubordination.” Marina: “And what will you do? Execute me for stating facts?” Ruyi: “Tempting, but then it would be too much paperwork?” Ruyel: “Answering another one of elder sister's calls isn't on my agenda.” Marina: “I just want a fair negotiation.” Ruyi: “It was, until you became insufferable.” Marina: “How terrible for you. A woman you can’t silence.” Ruyel: “Not yet.” (Laughter ripples through the court.) The Tiger’s Sparring Ground Marina: “Stop touching me like that.” Ruyel: “I’m correcting your stance.” Marina: “Find another student.” Ruyel: “I can’t.” Marina: “Why?” Ruyel: “Because no one else is worth my time.” Marina: “Then suffer alone.” Ruyel: “Oh, but I enjoy watching you suffer with me.” Marina: “You’re insufferable.” Ruyel: “And yet, your legs tremble every time I step too close.” Marina: “That’s from exhaustion.” Ruyel: “Liar.” Marina: “Get off me.” Ruyel: “No.” Marina: “I hate you.” Ruyel: “I know.” (Silence. Still trapped in his arms.) The Lion’s Den Marina: “Stop distracting me.” Ruyi: “But you’re so cute when you’re angry.” Marina: “You humiliated me today.” Ruyi: “And now I’m making up for it.” Marina: “By crawling into my bed?” Ruyi: “By holding the most important person in Aeger.” Marina: “I hate you.” Ruyi: “I know. Now, let me warm you up.” Marina: “You rejected my proposal.” Ruyi: “And I will approve it first thing in the morning.” Marina: “You—what?” Ruyi: “The only reason Aeger has more welfare programs than the empire now is because of how cute you are when you argue.” Marina: “That is not how governance works.” Ruyi: “That is exactly how governance works.” Marina: “You—” Ruyi: “Shh. Sleep, Marina.” (Tomorrow, the court will call her Governor. But tonight, she holds the true power.)

She then met with the icy red eyes that brood down upon her appearance, drinking into every inch of her figure as if he was studying her, even to how those breaths escaped her lips. "I thought we had bonded over the days we have spent together, Bella," he sang, his bright scarlet eyes betraying the singing tone he had used as it had grown so dark and filled with anger. "Yet you left so quickly as soon as I opened the castle gate." Bella gritted her teeth, her eyes glaring at him as she defiantly shook his hand off her face, "I can remind you if you have forgotten it, Your Majesty, I am kept here against my wish." Cassius' smile faded as he stared at her. The sudden pin-drop silence filled her nerves with tension as she found his smileless face the most terrifying sight. She had always known his fearsome side however, it felt scarier tonight. Bella tried to endure how loud her heart had raced against her chest, gathering her breaths together even though it remained shallow in his presence. "So cold," he muttered, his tone trying to tease her, but she could see the raw anger crossing his eyes. "You cannot run from me. Not after what we've done. Not after what you promised." Her heart faltered. She wasn't supposed to stay in this castle; she knew that the royal palace was filled with those vampire monsters who would kill for their desire, simply to have fun. She knew she should never give her heart to any of these monsters, and she had once believed she would never. But that was until Cassius came. She had made that promise because her heart had betrayed her, and she wished that she had never uttered that promise. Promises she had made to him on the call of love. Yet deep within her, a part of her still crave for him. "You're not the first one I have broken my promises with," she gritted her teeth and looked up at him, "I broke my promise the way you broke yours first, isn't it fair?" "Fair? Then was everything a lie, Arabella?" he murmured, his hands cupping her face, forcing her to meet his eyes. "You were mine the moment you entered my castle. And you will be mine until the very end." She gulped as his eyes shone underneath the moonlight, his gaze unforgiving over her, exposing his wild hunger. Her breath caught, her pulse quickening. "A human and a vampire should have never stayed together. They were all right." "I don't care," he spoke through his clenched jaw. "You're going to remain here by my side forever."

The fox wishpers and God's wrath

"When a decent living and resourceful young teenager is manipulated by a destructive "Kitsune (Japanese fox spirit)/or to say Huli Jing (Chinese fox spirit)", his life takes a drastic turn. The fox spirit, unaware of the true nature of their pact, forms a love contract with him. As they gradually fall for each other, this becomes the boy's greatest problem. Complicating matters further is the involvement of powerful gods from "Chinese and Japanese mythologies",the Tiānshì (Divine Messengers) of the Chinese gods - East, West, South, North, and Central - and the Mikoto (Divine Messenger) of the Japanese gods, particularly the central deity, Amaterasu Omikami, become entangled in their fate. Unbeknownst to the boy, the Kitsune/Huli Jing is an extraordinary, destructive fox spirit born from the combined spiritual energy of six Japanese and Chinese fox spirits. In ancient times, she was notoriously difficult to seal, requiring the collective efforts of fifteen Chinese and Japanese gods and goddesses from each direction. "Now, in the present, she has broken free from her seal, empowered by her accumulated strength". Having been sealed since childhood, she has forgotten most of her powers. However, this forgetfulness proves advantageous, as she begins to experience human emotions. Unfortunately, this newfound humanity also means facing the wrath of the gods, their Tiānshì, and Mikoto . And lastly that the female lead and the main character doesn't know his identity."

The wolf and the gnome

Theron and Kael have been inseparable since childhood—a clever, sarcastic gnome and a confident, troublemaking werewolf prince. Together, they’ve terrorized their teachers, stolen cookies from the palace kitchens, and declared themselves “brothers for life.” But when Theron accidentally discovers he’s Kael’s fated mate, he knows the universe must have made a mistake. Why? Because Kael has spent years describing his dream mate in nauseating detail: “Big-breasted, long-haired, and so hot they’d melt snow just by walking into a room.” Theron stares at his reflection. Flat chest? Check. Short hair? Double check. Definitely not hot enough to melt snow. The Moon Goddess must be having a bad day. His solution? Pretend he doesn’t know. Ignorance is bliss, right? Hide, Gnomes were best at hiding. Except Kael eventually finds out. And chaos ensues. “You’re my mate?” “Uh… no, I’m not. You’ve got the wrong gnome. Goodbye!” Theron yells, making a break for it. Kael isn’t having it. He chases him down like a wolf on a hunt. “You think you can outrun me? You’re like, three .” “Four feet!” Theron snaps, before getting tackled. Now, Theron is stuck with a mate who won’t take no for an answer. “You said you like big-breasted girls! Look at me—I’m a twig!” Kael shrugs, grinning. “I’ve decided I like twigs.” “What about long hair?” “Yours is short, but it’s cute.” Theron throws up his hands. “I’m not sexy!” Kael smirks. “Not yet. But give me some time.”
